bit of a loaded and/or malformed question. What context are we speaking in? In the US? In Japan? Racial pride is no more wrong than cultural or national pride.

Ethnicity is what I mean I suppose.

I guess if your end goal is to bring all creeds together, it's "wrong", but such a thing is unnatural in the first place.

Naturalistic fallacies are unwelcome in this palace. Medicine is also unnatural, not an argument, etc..

Even within the States, ethnic groups tend to bunch up together. In fact, as I've stated numerous times before, the fact that you all have such high amounts of various ethnic minorities is actually to your own detriment - people aren't incentivized to interact with each other very much when they can live in neighborhoods where everyone looks like them, which is exactly what's been happening for several years now.

Look up redlining, America isn't segregated by accident.

A simpler version of my answer would be "I don't care". People will do what they want to do. If you try to supplant their inclinations, they'll respond in kind by growing increasingly more fascistic. Just leave them be, who cares.

Just let them become more fascist because if you don't they grow more fascist? Go figure.

Again, what is the end goal. If you want a thorough response, I need to know why you're asking the question at all.

I'd been debating with a friend a while back on racial pride and if it should be acceptable overall regardless of who has it, or if pride should be something reserved for personal achievement. He also specifically tried to argue that white pride should be acceptable. I personally think racial pride is stupid, and while I think we should all have a level of self-respect and self-love, having this overblown sense of self-worth for being a certain race seems toxic and counter-productive IMO.

Irrelevant. White flight, black flight, etc are all things that happen right now because people want to be surrounded by familiarity.

LOL for you think white flight is a thing because white people cared about "familiarity". Studies show that people become more accepting of out-groups the more they're exposed to them.

Reread my post. They become more fascistic as a reaction to your attempts to get in their heads. If you leave them alone and let them go their separate ways, they won't see a need for it at all.

I was being facetious, I know what you meant. They become more fascistic because they're socially isolated, and have no source of information other than fox news(if they're 45+) or /pol//alt-right youtube propaganda(if they're 18-35).

So, counter-productive to the US? America was a mistake anyway tbh.

That's exactly what it is. Whites wake up one day and find more and more black people showing up on their block, or blacks wake up and find more and more hispanics coming to their neighborhood, they're gonna move to wherever their people are.

Gonna need to see which studies these are. I think I know which one you're talking about, but you should link it.

Amd they're socially isolated because diversity becomes a detriment to trust and cohesion after a certain point.

Is merit a valid thing to be proud of, though? It's a hell of a lot more egocentric for sure, but ultimately everyone is a victim of their own circumstances. With "circumstance" I'm also including the individualized genetic combinations everyone was born with.

All things considered, being proud of natural talent can be considered as vacuous as being proud of the ethnic group you were born into. Both were complete chance, or at the very best they were something you had no control over at all.
